Taylor Bertolet Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Taylor Bertolet was successful on all three of his extra-point tries in the team's Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Bertolet did not attempt a single field goal as he replaced Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) in the starting lineup for the second time this season. The Chargers have a bye in Week 8, but if Hopkins is unable to return in Week 9, Bertolet could again be an interesting option against the Atlanta Falcons.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Taylor Bertolet is in line to make his second NFL start in a Week 7 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. With Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) expected to miss the next few weeks, Bertolet could be an intriguing addition for fantasy teams lacking a consistent kicker. The seventh-year pro drilled all three of his field goals and three extra-point attempts in Week 5 and could be busy on Sunday as this contest has the highest projected point total of the week. Bertolet has not yet played enough to earn the trust of fantasy managers, but he could be a worthwhile dart throw this week.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Taylor Bertolet drilled all three of his field goal attempts and three extra-point tries in a 30-28 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Bertolet was activated earlier this weekend with starter Dustin Hopkins (quad) injured, and he delivered for the Chargers and fantasy managers in his NFL debut. While it's unclear if Hopkins will return in Week 6, it's good to know that Bertolet could be a start-worthy fantasy option going forward if given another opportunity.

The Los Angeles Chargers elevated kicker Taylor Bertolet to their active roster ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. With starter Dustin Hopkins (quad) questionable, Bertolet may have an opportunity to kick in Sunday's contest. In his seven-year professional career, Bertolet has never appeared in a regular season NFL game. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Hopkins and look to their waiver wire for other proven options.

The Los Angeles Chargers have added kicker Taylor Bertolet to their practice squad on Thursday. The team did this as insurance in case Dustin Hopkins (quad) is unable to play in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. Bertolet has never played in an NFL game, which makes him tough to trust as a streaming option. However, he made 11-of-15 field goals for the New Orleans Breakers earlier this season. Fantasy managers will have to check back to see if Hopkins does get ruled out for Week 5.

New York Jets kicker Taylor Bertolet is in danger of being cut after missing three of five field goals Thursday vs the Eagles. To be fair to Bertolet, the misses were from 53, 56, and 49 yards away, but the team is certainly looking for someone who can make those kicks with some degree of regularity. Bertolet did convert kicks from 23 and 39 yards away but the Jets will almost definitely kick the tires on a free agent kicker once teams begin making cuts. Even if he makes the team, fantasy owners can look elsewhere in the late in the draft when looking to fill the kicker position.

New York Jets kicker Taylor Bertolet connected from 48 and 56 yards as well as an extra point in the third preseason game Saturday. It was a badly needed good game for Bertolet who missed two extra points in the second preseason game against the Falcons. There was talk around the team they may go out and sign a kicker but this strong effort from Bertolet could make the Jets brass think twice. If Bertolet is on the team come Week 1 he could be a usable option at kicker as the Jets struggled mightily in the red zone last season. He won't be drafted in standard size leagues but is a name to be aware of if your kicker gets off to a rough start.

New York Jets kicker Taylor Bertolet is making a strong first impression on his new team. Bertolet was signed only a few days ago after Chandler Catanzaro abruptly retired but has already made an impression on the team. Bertolet went 4-for-4 on field goals during team drills connecting from 44, 40, and twice from 33 yards away. Bertolet won't be one of the top kickers drafted, but if he keeps this up could be worth a look on a Jets team that finished 30th in the NFL in red-zone conversion rate last season.
